Posted 17 hours ago17 hr Moderator 3-0 versus the MAC, but close to a couple of B1G heart attacks.Rutgers 34 - Ohio 31 - After Rutgers led 31-17.Minnesota 23 - Buffalo - 10 - Good first start for Gophers QB Drake LindseyWisconsin 17 - Miami (Ohio) - 0 - Transfer starting QB Billy Edwards injured, leaves game in 2nd quarter. The Badgers lost starter Tyler VanDyke in the first quarter of the opening game last season.😧1-0 vs the P4 - B12Nebraska 20 - Cincinnati 17 - In FG range with an excellent chance to send the game into OT, Cincy QB takes a shot at a TD, and the pass is intercepted in the end zone to give the Huskers a win.Wins are Wins, but Thursday night was a very shaky opening for the Big Ten.It could have been worse, ask the No. 25 G5 PO favorite, Boise. The Broncos traveled to Tampa and walked the plank in Buccaneers Stadium.South Florida 34 - Boise State 7I'm pretty sure Boise will not be in the next AP Poll Top 25. Week 3, USF travels to Miami to play the Canes. Hmmm?

17 hours ago17 hr the Boise game is the surprise of the night for me. They no longer have the stud running back, but my sources tell me that they have a lot of talent and production on both sides of the ball returning this year. Suddenly their upcoming game at Notre Dame seems no where near as enticing. To me Nebraska was disappointing. We have a number of Corndawg Nebraska fans on the forum where I participate, and these guys assured us all Winter that Rhule and the Huskers were breaking out big time this year. It could still happen of course, but I saw nothing tonight that would fuel such deep optimism.
15 hours ago15 hr Hey JJ,A win is a win. 😉Just ask Boise.Remember our last year start?I'm glad to see the 4-0 start.Can hardly wait for Sat!I think MSU Bobcats may be tougher then most think. Sorry, I'm just anxious. Go Ducks! Crush them 'Cats!
10 hours ago10 hr Moderator Our week 2 opponent did not have a very good offensive showing vs. UT Martin. I am assuming they didn’t open their playbook and Mullet Mike will have some surprises for OBD when they visit Eugene next weekend.

6 hours ago6 hr Author Moderator Four B1G games to date, two one-score games. If you are going to schedule an opening victory, be certain to bake enough cups into the cake.Ohio U - 2024 MAC Champ. Miami-Ohio 2024 MAC runner-up. Buffalo Bulls - MAC 3rd place, 9-4 in 2024.Cincinnati, a Phil Steele surprise contender for the B12 title this season.Hats off to the MAC teams. With NIL, largely unregulated 'college free agency,' and little or no control over tampering, it's a credit to these G5 teams and their coaches to go down swinging, if they go down.A long way to go in a too-short season, but I think Wisconsin and Minnesota, even though both looked to be improved on defense, will have a tough time winning in Autzen, and the same for Rutgers on the road. Rutgers went 5 for 5 on 4th down tries. Good news for Schiano's O but the D was swiss cheese in the 2nd half.Bob the Cats!
5 hours ago5 hr I'm sure Boise is currently scrambling to see if they can schedule Oregon on their schedule as soon as possible right now. Whenever they play us in the early season they have a good season.
1 hour ago1 hr BSU is an interesting one and the new PAC might want to hold their breath a little as they are supposed to be the new shining star.Since COVID, BSU had lost at least 4 games each season up until last year. Not exactly a scintillating trend given who they’ve been playing. From what I saw, they look to be reverting to that norm.Will make for a pretty bad first year of the new PAC next year if they have a collection of 6-6 (or worse) teams, against supposedly worse competition in 2025, joining together to launch things 2026.
